Hey , I'm new here and sorry for rushing things with the first Post I'm making, but i found some people that work on a new X-Wing game, based on todays Graphics with a lot of features and they need HELP and Supoort, they all probably luv X-wing alliance like I do and many of you still do!! Would be very nice if u could join their forum too.... they NEED SUPPORT....

Here is tha Official Forum:http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,143.0.html

Unfortunately the Fate of the Galaxy Mod for FS 2 had a set back as one of the main modders lost his HD and all the models therein..but they seem to have surived this (i hope he has an extrnal back up or atleat on on DVD now)
and they are proceeding, prob be until later this year for first release, they have an alpha built but most of the ships are placeholders at this point, so there is a lot of work ahead of them, but the models finished so far do look quite good. To find out if it will run on latest systems, i would advise checking with the Hard Light Productions main forum they will know there.

There is no Chaos, There is Harmony.

That being said, while I'd enjoy a mega-pretty X-Wing title built on open source, I'd be quite happy with an open source engine that can support the existing bevy of X-Wing Alliance models. You can always replace those later with nicer models and nicer textures, but I assume you'll be at a playable state quicker if you can use all the existing models the fan community has made.
